Answer:

y = 4

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Angle θ = 45

Hypothenus = 4√2

Adjacent = y =?

The value of y can be obtained by using cosine ratio as illustrated below:

Cos θ = Adjacent / Hypothenus

Cos 45 = y / 4√2

Cross multiply

y = 4√2 × Cos 45

Recall

Cos 45 = 1 / √2

Therefore,

y = 4√2 × 1/√2

y = 4
